• They are praying and asking God to do something - When God has asked them to do something

• God has commanded you to take your authority, your dominion, to use the anointing or the power of God that He has put upon you to make a difference

• There is an area of your life where God expects you as a Christian to be on the attack – To be violent toward what has been happening to you, your health, marriage, family, children, and your finances

• At the name of Jesus – Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

• God has given you authority in the heavens and in the earth

• The violent shall take it by force

• Violent: Aggressive – To take power, might, and aggressive authority – Go after it

• You can not allow the enemy to come into your house and attack your family without aggressively dealing with him in that area

• You are called to take care of business – And you must have an aggressive attitude in those areas

• Whatever the enemy is fighting you with – You have the power, or authority to exercise in this earth realm

• Stop sitting around hoping and wishing for something to change in your life

• When you have the authority to change it - You have the authority to make a difference

• Many Christians are praying and putting it in God’s hand to do something

• That is a passive spirit that the enemy loves for Christians to have

• You’re praying for God to do something – When God has already told you what to do• God wants you to be aggressive in every area of your life

• This is your year to bring back all that was stolen from you

• There were some things stolen from you that you didn’t even know about

• Some things were stolen from your family members who are no longer here

• The rewards are there for you

• Sometimes when you’re going through the tough times and there is no one to stand with you – You can not be mad at the people that will not encourage you

• You must stand anyway and encourage yourself in the Lord your God

• The devil loves to discourage you – He is trying to cause you to give up

• God is the “God of Principle” – Everything He does is through principles

• Many Christians operate outside of the principles – But they want God to bless them according to principles

• Principles are what God uses to bless you

• Principles - When broken, will curse you and bring destruction upon you

• Walking in Love is a principle of God – Yet many Christians walk outside the principle

• So those Christians don’t receive the blessing they want because they choose to hate and hold on to things

• Forgiveness is a principle – People want forgiveness without forgiving

• When you want something to change in your life – Start changing principles in your life

•

• If it has not been working for you – There is something you’re not doing that is holding back the blessing of God in your life

• It is never a God issue – It is a you issue

• Things can always get better - If you get better

• Principles, when activated – Brings a reward with it

• You have the ability to stop a lot of things that’s happening in your life through Firstfruits giving

• That is why the devil will fight against you – He does not want you to be set free from the bondages in your life

• Firstfruits giving will cause the blessing to rest upon your house

• The blessing – God’s breakthrough power working on your behalf

• When you give openly – It shames the devil and brings glory to God

• Alms is giving to the poor

• God is against open giving if giving to the poor - God does not want you to shame the poor

• God did not prosper you to just store it up – He wants you to be a distribution center

• You must be consistent at working the principles – Be the best that you can be at all times

• God wants you to be rich in good works and deeds by doing the principles

• God is trying your heart for the next promotion, breakthrough, and miracle

• God is trying to stir you up – But it is up to you to have a willing heart

• On Firstfruits Sunday, I stand in agreement that God will release three things to you:1. The spirit of wisdom will be stirred up in you life2. Favor will flow into your life like a river3. The spirit of generosity will be upon your life

• During this time when things are upside down and anything that could go wrong, is going wrong

• It is time for the “God of more than enough” to show up strong on your behalf

• You must have a proper attitude• You must do things in the order that God has set • Humbleness is an act performed by you• God does not humble you
